The EBC Trek is obviously risky and hazardous from the beginning till the end. The trek commences from Kathmandu with a turbulent mountain flight which bestows a thrilling and breathtaking experience to the trekkers. Once the trek begins from Lukla, we cross suspension bridges over the surging rivers; walk through the dense forest, narrow cliffs or ridges; and trace off the beaten route which will definitely make the trek dangerous and risky. Although the trek is tough and risky, with some precautions, plans, fitness, and guidance, trekkers of the age group 17 to 70 have easily accomplished the trek; therefore, EBC Trek is doable if trekkers.

Everest Base Camp 12-day Trek - Perfect Service

I didn't know what to expect from Mountain Mart Treks, as I booked at the last moment, but I was more than pleasantly surprised from their service from the moment I stepped out of the airport, to the moment I boarded my plane. I was met by my guide at the airport, with whom I was to spend the next two weeks trekking. The Kathmandu accommodation was very decent, central, and real 3-stars. What I didn't realize that over the next two weeks, I didn't simply receive a mountain guide (Ram Bhandari), but something like a personal assistant, competent advisor, and a friend, all in one. In comparison to other guides that I saw on the trek, Ram was much more energetic, willing to do 'acclimatization' treks, which proved to be key for acclimatization process; always be on time, whenever he is needed; even cooked for me a couple of times, when the lodge's cooks were not available. As in any company, the best asset are it's employees, so in Mountain Mart's case, I can say that people like Ram, really make for a great company. The company's owner was personally and actively involved in ensuring the quality and the best service to be provided, actively seeking feedback. One thing that is good to keep in mind on these treks is that the lodges and hotels up there function a bit like low-cost

Everest Base Camp Trek (EBC) - When Trekking Groups Become Family
A trip to Everest Base Camp is obviously a bucket list experience for most people. The thought of placing your blind faith in a company to ensure safety and comfort is extremely overwhelming, and no matter how many reviews read, or research conducted – it is still overwhelming. I selected Mountain Mart based on the positive reviews and ethical standing of the company. Still – reviews only do so much and can often be deceiving. I’ve worked with numerous tour companies before – ranging from God awful to excellent – and I will attest to having a top notch experience with Mountain Mart from the get-go.

From the onset – Dolakh was extremely responsive and straightforward. I never had to worry about badgering him for a response, and he truly seemed vested in the experience I would have as opposed to just seeking financial compensation. I had a friend join the trek a little late in the game, and Dolakh made this transition seamless. Additionally, he understood the concerns our party had regarding the high altitude and the rapid ascent. He ensured 100% flexibility in our journey in the event of illness. I appreciated that he was vested in our experience and wanted us to make the most of this experience after traveling across the world.

After physically arriving in Kathmandu – I have nothing but glowing remarks to say about the entire experience. This is especially a leap of faith since you are trusting your life to strangers and spending the next ten days together. Our guide Yukumar greeted us at the hotel and clearly set the expectations. The morning of departure, he navigated us through the complex domestic terminal at KTM airport and ensured we were on the first flight to Lukla. Once we arrived in Lukla, our porter Kamal joined the trek. Simply put – these two were rockstars and literally worked tirelessly to ensure we would have an amazing journey (the delicious cut fruit dessert platter each night – no other groups had anything close). I expected the company to look out for our physical wellbeing, but I did not expect Kumar to provide such a cultural insight into his country and help foster our love for Nepal. From literally knowing anything you could ask about the numerous peaks in the Himalayan range (seriously every altitude), to teaching us local customs, and even some Nepali (dhanyabād) – it was his knowledge and enthusiasm that reflected so positively for the beautiful nation he represented.

Trekking at such high altitudes definitely involves risks – with altitude sickness being one of them. Unfortunately, my friend did begin to feel the effects of this. There was not a single moment Kumar didn’t put his genuine heart forward to ensure my friend was safe and comfortable. He continually helped her through some difficult times, and reassured both of us on the enormous feat we conquered. I am a typically stubborn trekker and refuse to ask for help. After an extremely long and icy ascent up Kala Patthar – I didn’t recognize the difficulty of getting back down in dangerous conditions. Our porter, Kamal, hiked right up the mountain to assist me getting down. I would have never asked for help, but I’m thankful the company had the foresight to know this was an extremely dangerous situation and our welfare was most important. I managed this icy descent unscathed thanks to Kamal.

I truly believe the most captivating aspect of this trek was that we became family. I remember sitting at the tea house during the last night in Lukla generally sad that this trek was over. Kumar and Kamal had become important parts of our lives during a lifetime adventure we’d never forget. As accomplished as we felt completing the trek, it was sad knowing we would ultimately leave our two new friends at the end. Nepal is a country that isn’t just worth a visit, but worth a repeat visit(s). I’ve traveled fairly extensively and know I will be back, and Mountain Mart will be part of it. My only advice is this is an extreme journey that will tax you mentally and physically – be sure you have the right company to lead you through this. I could not be more pleased with Mountain Mart and our guide Kumar, and our porter Kamal.

This trek was an incredible experience and definitely a fun challenge. Sagarmatha National Park is an absolutely beautiful place with an endless number of mountains to see.

Mountain Mart set us up with everything we needed. Our guide Tilak was an exceptional guide that took the time to teach us the various peaks through out the trek. His expertise of the area made our trek stress free from start to finish. During our trip, our entire group all got hit with AMS and Tilak did a great job helping us acclimatize and set a comfortable pace. He and the porters were always happy to help in whatever capacity and were readily available, and we definitely appreciated Tilak’s humor through out the trip. I would do a trek with Tilak again in a heart beat!

Mountain Mart provided an accurate list of things to bring which made packing easier. I picked up a few things in Thamel and Namche once we were into the trek. I would definitely recommend bringing some cards (and a book or two) for the down time in the tea houses. Mountain Mart provided Diamox for the altitude sickness (which hit me in Namche) but if you would like to control your own dosage I would recommend getting a prescription before the trip.

I definitely recommend Mountain Mart and would go with them again for any future treks!

Amazing Everest Base Camp April Trek
Just came back from the 13 day Everest base camp trek. It is the most beautiful hike I have ever done, and nothing will parallel the experience of seeing several >8000 m peaks. We highly recommend Mountain Mart and especially our guide, Tilak and porter, Gevan. Tilak went out of his way several times to make us feel comfortable on the hike. He is a very experienced trekking guide, speaks English very well, and knows all of the trails and mountains as if they were his home. In addition, he is very knowledgeable and good at explaining the history of Mt Everest and local Sherpa culture. He was always prepared to give good advise on everything from the best food, to hiking, to altitude sickness. Gevan was a very kind and patient porter, and made sure to adapt to our speed on the hikes we did together. Both were very enthusiastic, and we couldn’t have asked for a better guide and porter. We had a problem free hike to base camp, both of us are relatively fit with past above 14k feet hiking experiences but are by no means very fit or very experienced at hiking. We opted to take the helicopter down after reaching base camp, for comfort, as we would have succeeded in the return trip. It was very easy to make this re-accommodation with mountain mart.

Everest Base Camp 12-day Trek - Perfect Service

I didn't know what to expect from Mountain Mart Treks, as I booked at the last moment, but I was more than pleasantly surprised from their service from the moment I stepped out of the airport, to the moment I boarded my plane. I was met by my guide at the airport, with whom I was to spend the next two weeks trekking. The Kathmandu accommodation was very decent, central, and real 3-stars. What I didn't realize that over the next two weeks, I didn't simply receive a mountain guide (Ram Bhandari), but something like a personal assistant, competent advisor, and a friend, all in one. In comparison to other guides that I saw on the trek, Ram was much more energetic, willing to do 'acclimatization' treks, which proved to be key for acclimatization process; always be on time, whenever he is needed; even cooked for me a couple of times, when the lodge's cooks were not available. As in any company, the best asset are it's employees, so in Mountain Mart's case, I can say that people like Ram, really make for a great company. The company's owner was personally and actively involved in ensuring the quality and the best service to be provided, actively seeking feedback. One thing that is good to keep in mind on these treks is that the lodges and hotels up there function a bit like low-cost

Everest Base Camp Trek (EBC) - When Trekking Groups Become Family
A trip to Everest Base Camp is obviously a bucket list experience for most people. The thought of placing your blind faith in a company to ensure safety and comfort is extremely overwhelming, and no matter how many reviews read, or research conducted – it is still overwhelming. I selected Mountain Mart based on the positive reviews and ethical standing of the company. Still – reviews only do so much and can often be deceiving. I’ve worked with numerous tour companies before – ranging from God awful to excellent – and I will attest to having a top notch experience with Mountain Mart from the get-go.

From the onset – Dolakh was extremely responsive and straightforward. I never had to worry about badgering him for a response, and he truly seemed vested in the experience I would have as opposed to just seeking financial compensation. I had a friend join the trek a little late in the game, and Dolakh made this transition seamless. Additionally, he understood the concerns our party had regarding the high altitude and the rapid ascent. He ensured 100% flexibility in our journey in the event of illness. I appreciated that he was vested in our experience and wanted us to make the most of this experience after traveling across the world.

After physically arriving in Kathmandu – I have nothing but glowing remarks to say about the entire experience. This is especially a leap of faith since you are trusting your life to strangers and spending the next ten days together. Our guide Yukumar greeted us at the hotel and clearly set the expectations. The morning of departure, he navigated us through the complex domestic terminal at KTM airport and ensured we were on the first flight to Lukla. Once we arrived in Lukla, our porter Kamal joined the trek. Simply put – these two were rockstars and literally worked tirelessly to ensure we would have an amazing journey (the delicious cut fruit dessert platter each night – no other groups had anything close). I expected the company to look out for our physical wellbeing, but I did not expect Kumar to provide such a cultural insight into his country and help foster our love for Nepal. From literally knowing anything you could ask about the numerous peaks in the Himalayan range (seriously every altitude), to teaching us local customs, and even some Nepali (dhanyabād) – it was his knowledge and enthusiasm that reflected so positively for the beautiful nation he represented.

Trekking at such high altitudes definitely involves risks – with altitude sickness being one of them. Unfortunately, my friend did begin to feel the effects of this. There was not a single moment Kumar didn’t put his genuine heart forward to ensure my friend was safe and comfortable. He continually helped her through some difficult times, and reassured both of us on the enormous feat we conquered. I am a typically stubborn trekker and refuse to ask for help. After an extremely long and icy ascent up Kala Patthar – I didn’t recognize the difficulty of getting back down in dangerous conditions. Our porter, Kamal, hiked right up the mountain to assist me getting down. I would have never asked for help, but I’m thankful the company had the foresight to know this was an extremely dangerous situation and our welfare was most important. I managed this icy descent unscathed thanks to Kamal.

I truly believe the most captivating aspect of this trek was that we became family. I remember sitting at the tea house during the last night in Lukla generally sad that this trek was over. Kumar and Kamal had become important parts of our lives during a lifetime adventure we’d never forget. As accomplished as we felt completing the trek, it was sad knowing we would ultimately leave our two new friends at the end. Nepal is a country that isn’t just worth a visit, but worth a repeat visit(s). I’ve traveled fairly extensively and know I will be back, and Mountain Mart will be part of it. My only advice is this is an extreme journey that will tax you mentally and physically – be sure you have the right company to lead you through this. I could not be more pleased with Mountain Mart and our guide Kumar, and our porter Kamal.

This trek was an incredible experience and definitely a fun challenge. Sagarmatha National Park is an absolutely beautiful place with an endless number of mountains to see.

Mountain Mart set us up with everything we needed. Our guide Tilak was an exceptional guide that took the time to teach us the various peaks through out the trek. His expertise of the area made our trek stress free from start to finish. During our trip, our entire group all got hit with AMS and Tilak did a great job helping us acclimatize and set a comfortable pace. He and the porters were always happy to help in whatever capacity and were readily available, and we definitely appreciated Tilak’s humor through out the trip. I would do a trek with Tilak again in a heart beat!

Mountain Mart provided an accurate list of things to bring which made packing easier. I picked up a few things in Thamel and Namche once we were into the trek. I would definitely recommend bringing some cards (and a book or two) for the down time in the tea houses. Mountain Mart provided Diamox for the altitude sickness (which hit me in Namche) but if you would like to control your own dosage I would recommend getting a prescription before the trip.

I definitely recommend Mountain Mart and would go with them again for any future treks!

Amazing Everest Base Camp April Trek
Just came back from the 13 day Everest base camp trek. It is the most beautiful hike I have ever done, and nothing will parallel the experience of seeing several >8000 m peaks. We highly recommend Mountain Mart and especially our guide, Tilak and porter, Gevan. Tilak went out of his way several times to make us feel comfortable on the hike. He is a very experienced trekking guide, speaks English very well, and knows all of the trails and mountains as if they were his home. In addition, he is very knowledgeable and good at explaining the history of Mt Everest and local Sherpa culture. He was always prepared to give good advise on everything from the best food, to hiking, to altitude sickness. Gevan was a very kind and patient porter, and made sure to adapt to our speed on the hikes we did together. Both were very enthusiastic, and we couldn’t have asked for a better guide and porter. We had a problem free hike to base camp, both of us are relatively fit with past above 14k feet hiking experiences but are by no means very fit or very experienced at hiking. We opted to take the helicopter down after reaching base camp, for comfort, as we would have succeeded in the return trip. It was very easy to make this re-accommodation with mountain mart.
